every shop, not being a shop exempted from the provisions of this
subsection, there shall be provided and maintained suitable and

Pharmacy and Poisons Act, 1933 and Pharmacy and Medicines Act, 1941
The poisons law was amended by the Poisons List Order, 1952
and the Poison Rules, 1952 which came into operation on 1 January,
1953. The Poisons List Order added certain substances to the Poisons
List and the Third Schedule thereto sets out a complete list of poisons
to which the Pharmacy and Poisons Act, 1933 applies.
The Poisons Rules consolidated with amendments, the Poison Rules,
1949, 1950 and 1951, which were revoked. The principal amendments
of substance applied to the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Eighth
and Ninth Schedules and made appropriate provisions for the substances
newly added to the Poisons List by the Poisons List Order, 1952, and
the names of certain substances already on the list were revised to
accord with current usage. The Poisons (No. 2) Rules, 1952, which also
came into operation on 1 January made good the omission of certain
substances from the First Schedule to the Poisons Rules, 1952.
The Poisons List Order, 1953 (SI 1953 No. 1300) adds certain
substances to the Poisons List and in the Third Schedule sets out the
complete list as from the date of operation of the Order.
The Poisons Rules, 1953 (SI 1953 No. 1301) impose appropriate
requirements and restrictions on the sale of substances now added to
